CNY Dinner @ Warm Snow Beer & Dine

Every year before Chinese New Year, my colleagues and I will organize a dinner together to celebrate err.. Chinese New Year! Hahaha.. of course. Actually, it is called "收工酒" and it's usually held by the company to thank the workers for their hard work for the past year before the company closes for Chinese New Year celebration. But instead of that, we make it a tradition to have a small dinner for ourselves (just our department) just for fun! 

So this year, our CNY dinner was held at "Warm Snow Beer & Dine". Why did we choose this restaurant? Why not a Chinese restaurant? As there are only 7 of us, and we are all girls, normal 7-9 courses meal at Chinese Restaurant will be too much for us. After searching high and low for a suitable restaurant,   I found this groupon deal which is quite a good deal at RM80 for 7 of us. Though the deal does not include drinks, it is a 2-course meal with a main dish and a salad. For more information on the deal, click here. 

For salad, there are Spicy Thai or Citrus Garden Salad to choose from. Both are good. Look exactly like in the deal. But Spicy Thai is more tasty. If you prefer a simple salad with a touch of orange sourness plus sweetness, then Citrus Garden Salad would be your choice.

For main dish, we can choose either 

1) Grilled Coriander Chicken

2) Pan-seared Dory 

or 3) Salmon Carbonara 

We all like the chicken the most though the gravy was slightly too spicy for me. The carborana was not bad either, just that the sauce was slightly thin. But it's good enough because otherwise, you will feel bloated after eating the whole plate! Fish is a no-no. Fortunately, the fish was ordered for everyone to try since we were only 7 but the deal was for 8 persons.

Almost everyone complained about their drinks. My ice-blended Ribena was so diluted / thin. Hardly can taste Ribena. As it was a hot day, I was expecting icy cold drink.. but the ice was not the usual blended drink. Ice was too big size! Actually almost all the drinks were slightly diluted. Anyway, we were arguing on whether to use 'thin' or 'diluted' to describe my drink. Well, I guess either one can be used, right? Just that diluted is mostly used in our lab! ;P

Probably I may go there for their Carbonara or try other foods on the menu. But the restaurant is so warm (no air-cond). Probably this is why they are called "Warm Snow Beer & Dine". We should drink some beer to cool down. lol...

Oh yeah...forgot to mention that we really dislike the choice of table cloth they used. hahahah! It has nothing to do with the food though...;D
